Compare Australian Pay TV Plans
Australians didn’t always have the vast array of television options we have at our disposal today. In the past, our TV entertainment was pretty much limited to whatever Channels Seven, Nine, Ten, ABC, and SBS had on. And if we wanted to watch something, we’d have to be in front of the TV there and then. There was no streaming, and certainly no on-demand, and our viewing choices were limited.
Until, that is, pay TV came along with Foxtel becoming the dominant provider. The major benefit of subscription television was that it offered a far wider range of content than you would find on free-to-air channels. Nowadays, Foxtel is far from our only choice. It is certainly one of the best, but there are numerous other platforms which offer an array of benefits, all suiting different people based on their specific combination of budget, the type of content they like to watch, and how they like to watch it.
Latest Deals and Offers
Between linear pay TV services like Foxtel and Fetch, and the ever-growing choice of on-demand streaming TV from the likes of Netflix, Kayo Sports, or BINGE, there’s a huge amount of choice available and some great deals and special offers to be found, especially if you’re a new customer to the service. Keep an eye on this page for the latest offers of discounted - or even free - access to
Choosing a Pay TV Plan
There is a whole range of things that go into choosing which of the various platforms at your disposal is the best option for you. The most important things to consider are content, data usage, and cost. Fortunately, we’re here to cover all of these factors in detail to make it a little easier for you to decide.
Content
The first thing you’ll need to consider is what type of content you want to watch the most on your Pay TV service. If, for example, you’re after the biggest range of TV shows and movies, Netflix might be the way to go. In contrast, sports lovers will no doubt be attracted by Foxtel’s huge range of quality sports channels via Fox Sports, while reality TV enthusiasts might prefer a platform like Hayu, which focuses exclusively on this type of content. Most people don’t watch just one genre, so you’ll likely be looking for something which combines a few of your favourite types of programming. Regardless of what you like, however, you’ll want to make sure there’s enough of it to keep you interested.
Data Usage
Though there are certainly similarities between how much data different streaming services use, there are some which tend to eat through your data a little more. If you have unlimited data on your broadband plan, this won’t be too much of a problem for you. If, however, you have a capped plan, you could end up paying more than you bargained for. Too much streaming could see you needing to pay excess charges for exceeding your data limit, or you may even need to purchase a more data-heavy plan to accommodate your streaming needs - so make sure you know how much data a platform is likely to use before you sign up.
Cost
Cost is an obvious factor, and one which almost everyone will think about before purchasing anything, not just pay TV. The way pay TV platforms structure their prices varies, but for the most part you’ll be looking at a monthly fee to access a group of channels or a library of content. For some, you’ll simply be paying monthly without a contract, while others will lock you in for a certain period of time. The contract option, though it doesn’t sound ideal, can often end up saving you money. Other services charge on a per-view basis, which is suitable for lower-volume viewers who might not want to pay a monthly fee for something they will only occasionally use.
What’s Available?
Thanks to the sheer array of options at your disposal, there’s never been a better time to watch TV in Australia. The only downside really is that it can be hard to choose! And while many of the newer options fall into the category of streaming rather than being traditional linear Pay TV providers, the advent of streaming has seen traditional pay TV services improve their options - and their pricing - dramatically. The big three are Foxtel, Foxtel from Telstra and Fetch TV.
Foxtel
The pioneer of pay TV in Australia, Foxtel delivers over 90 channels of entertainment, news and sports via cable and satellite. Both methods require installation at the customer’s premises if Foxtel hasn’t been connected there before. These days, new customers can only opt for a satellite installation, as Foxtel winds down its cable network over the next few years and gradually moves everyone over to satellite.
Foxtel launched their live 4K programming alongside the iQ4 set top box. You can automatically record your favourite shows to watch later with the exact same quality as if you were watching them live. Coupled with a broadband internet connection, the Foxtel iQ4 box also give you access to on-demand replays of recent shows, live sport and entire seasons of certain programs - all of which is included in the subscription cost. Plus, you get access to the Foxtel Go app, allowing you to watch content on demand wherever you are. As of 2023, it's also worth noting that Foxtel now uses the newer iQ5 as part of their current plans and bundles.
Foxtel From Telstra
Two names - one awesome service. Foxtel from Telstra is exactly what the name says. It’s Foxtel in its full, home-installed form, but sold and billed by Telstra. Therefore, it’s only available to those who have an active Telstra service of some kind. There are often extremely compelling deals available on Foxtel packages when you subscribe this way, so it’s well worth checking out what’s on offer.
The bundles are a bit different from Foxtel, though the channel packs follow the same format. You can choose between Foxtel Plus, Sports HD + Foxtel Plus, Movies HD + Foxtel Plus, Premium - or get it all with Platinum Plus, which includes all channels. Subscribers also get access to the Foxtel Go app to stream content anytime. See what’s trending on Foxtel from Telstra.
Fetch TV
Fetch TV is extremely capable hardware that gives customers access not only to a range of general-interest pay TV channels (delivered via broadband streaming) but also the cream of on-demand video providers such as Stan and Netflix.
Continuing to garner attention in the world of Pay TV for its solid deals, Fetch TV’s larger boxes - available to buy outright or on plans from selected internet providers - are also feature-packed hard-disk video recorders. They enable you to capture free-to-air programs to watch later and come with tons of features you’ll likely enjoy. If you have a fast broadband connection, Fetch is a worthy Foxtel alternative. The premium channel packs are only $6/month, or you can get them all for $20/month. Plus, Fetch also offers World TV packages and specialised sports packages, so you can customise your subscription so that it best matches your needs. Find out how Fetch TV fares in our comprehensive review.
Update: Telstra had announced it had entered into an agreement with Fetch as its new platform for Telstra TV.
